One of the most common questions is when this geophysical event is going to occur, whether we are close to the 'end times,' and why the world seems like it's going crazy.

I'm going to share my opinion and the opinions of other researchers about this geophysical event and how close we are.

So read this thread, inform yourself, investigate, and form your own opinion. (1/14)🧵

It's important to understand that this event is happening gradually and will eventually lead to a tipping point, after which everything will deteriorate more rapidly. No one can predict the exact tipping point because this is a very dynamic issue. However, here are the facts...

In a previous thread, I shared Isaac Newton's calculations about the apocalypse based on his Biblical and esoteric research. He concluded that the final date would be 2060.

I also shared the MIT algorithm from the 1970s. This early A.I. algorithm calculated the collapse of society to occur in the year 2040.
(2/14)🧵

The MIT algorithm's prediction is supported by Martin Luther's estimation, which places the start of this civilization at the year 3961 BC. This makes the year 2040 the beginning of the seventh millennium, which is the Biblical time for the apocalypse and the return of the Messiah. The Jewish calendar places this event in the year 2240.

🧵 I know peak Ozempic discourse was earlier in the year, but I did want to talk about some things that I think get overlooked amidst the "miracle drug" talk and contribute to the backlash. First the good: I lost 50 pounds on it in 10 months. There are the typical side-benefits 1/

My knees don't hurt, I get tired less easily, I work out more, my cholesterol and triglycerides are in line, etc. etc. It was 100% worth it. WITH THAT SAID. Ozempic is not some miracle drug that melts off fat while you stick with your old bad habits. 2/

I think that perception, in part created by people who take it, is part of why there's been a backlash. OZEMPIC ONLY WORKS IF YOU EAT LESS/WORK EXERCISE MORE. What Ozempic does is act like a sort of chemical stomach stapling, slowing down digestion so you fill up quicker. 3/

Russia’s economy is in worse shape than Ukraine’s. Russian Central Bank head Nabiullina admits it has nearly exhausted its resources.

Addressing parliament today, Nabiullina complained about

If Matt Gaetz committed crimes, the DOJ didn’t seem to find any during a year and a half long investigation. If he didn’t, then he didn’t. There’s a legal process in this country and it should be pursued in those kinds of cases.

People on this site feel comfortable making a claim that someone committed a crime when there was already an extensive investigation into the matter. I feel less comfortable about it. If they just want to say he’s a sleazeball, OK.

I agree with that, but I still see casual claims that he’s a criminal. Just like I see casual claims that Tulsi is a Russian spy. Those are legal matters that have to be pursued in the system, we can’t just make those claims with confidence.

The Founding Gentlemen: The American Gentry and the Founding of the Nation

A more interesting aspect of America's founding is that many of those integral to getting the country started weren't normal people

Rather, they were gentlemen - the gentry of the New World

🧵👇

This is clearest in the case of the Tidewater gentry - the planters of the cavalier Old Dominion

They saw it as their duty to serve their fledgling country. They foxhunted, drank copious amounts of port and claret, ran landed estates like those in England, and were often familiar with military service on horseback.

This contingent included:

James Monroe: an officer, diplomat, and president

James Madison: Congressman, creator of the Constitution, Federalist Papers writer, Secretary of State, President

"Light Horse Harry" Lee (Henry Lee III): An Anglo-Norman cavalry officer in the Revolution, he went on to aid in ratifying the Constitution and served as Governor of Virginia

George Mason IV: A descendant of a cavalier who fled to Virginia, Mason organized a pre-Revolution militia that proved crucial when the war began, served as a leading member of the Continental Congress, and is considered the Father of the Bill of Rights because of the Virginia Declaration of Rights he crafted

Thomas Jefferson: Declaration of Independence writer, wartime Governor of Virginia, diplomat, President, solver of the Barbary Pirate problem

George Washington: Commander of the Continental Army, president-general of the Constitutional Convention, first president

But while the Tidewater planters, who self-consciously imitated the English Gentry and their cavalier ancestors, are the most notable of the gentlemen involved with the Founding and early republic period, there were a great deal more gentlemen from the North and South involved

For example, New York's "Lord Stirling," William Alexander. Heir of the Earl of Stirling, a Scottish Lord, Stirling inherited an immense fortune that he used to build a grand estate in New Jersey, on which he brought wine-making to the US by cultivating thousands of grape vines. During the early Revolutionary War period, Stirling was integral to building the patriot cause. He not only rallied volunteers, but even outfitted an entire regiment at his own expsense.

Similarly, Francis Marion, the infamous "Swamp Fox," was a planter from the Carolinas who managed to butcher British regulars and chase Cornwallis north in a series of over a dozen major battles and skirmishes, leading to the eventual war-winning battle of Yorktown

This painting is nearly 500 years old.

It was made by Giuseppe Arcimboldo, one of the strangest (and funniest) artists who ever lived...

Giuseppe Arcimboldo was born in Milan in the year 1526, and he spent his life working in the court of the Holy Roman Emperors.

His unusual career — during which he painted things like Four Seasons in One Face, below — came just after the High Renaissance:

During the High Renaissance painters like Leonardo, Raphael, and Michelangelo had seemingly perfected art — in their shadow, what more could be achieved?

Their work had been graceful and harmonious, defined by mellow colours and highly idealised human figures:

Quantum computers could revolutionize drug discovery, material design & physics - solving in hours what takes regular computers billions of years

Quantum computers are super sensitive to noise, making them prone to errors from things like heat, vibration & even cosmic rays

SCOOP: Billionaire Musk foe Pierre Omidyar, the founder of eBay, bankrolls second Trump resistance under "nonpartisan" banner🧵 1/6

Some background: The New York Times and other outlets recently profiled the existence of a new Democratic governors-led Trump “resistance” group, noting its funding was unclear as it preps to coordinate state-level pushback to the incoming administration

It's called “Governors Safeguarding Democracy" 2/6

The parent for GSD, @dcexaminer found, is quietly backed by left-wing billionaire Pierre Omidyar — a key financier of entities leading corporate boycott campaigns against @X owner @elonmusk

The funding to the umbrella charity for “Governors Safeguarding Democracy" would be untraceable for several years because of IRS reporting lag. However, it's buried in Omidyar’s Democracy Fund grants database 3/6

🇬🇪STUNNING REVELATIONS from @StudioMonitori expose the scale and sophistication of Georgian Dream’s election fraud during the Oct. 26 elections. This is more than misconduct—it’s a nationwide, systemic operation to steal an election.
🧵Let’s break it down:

Studio Monitori uncovered a nationwide call center network operated by Georgian Dream. These centers tracked voters in real-time, collecting personal data to be able to put pressure on voters. Every polling station was tied to one or more call centers. See the full report here:

The call centers, staffed by operators and overseen by "captains," logged voters' personal information into a centralized database called . This system provided real-time updates and was accessible only from specific IP addresses.

1) The Reagan admin alleged the Medellin Cartel was selling drugs to the Sandinistas and used that allegation as a reason to take them out. Their 'eye witnesses' were Nazi loving CIA asset Lehder and CIA asset Barry Seal. This led to the following:

2) "The enlarged U.S. presence in Columbia... produced not order but a major escalation of Medellin cartel violence. This reached a peak in 1989, when a Colombian commercial airliner was blown up, killing all 110 passengers....

3) In September, the new Bush administration, treating such violence as a national security matter, launched the Andean initiative with a new NSDD, authorizing an expanded role for the U.S. military in the Latin American drug war.

For all the talk about this & that & whatever with Trump, this is the real game/set/match for executive power: a SCOTUS ruling that the Impoundment Act is unconstitutional and that POTUS can refuse to spend appropriations. 1/

The power of the purse is the last strong power of Congress, and to reduce it to a negative power--the ability to refuse to appropriate, but not the power to positively appropriate--would upend the separation powers as we know it. 2/

It doesn't mean you wouldn't have any separation of powers; the negative power not appropriate what the executive wants is still pretty powerful. But that's the 16th-17th century English model--a powerful King barely constrained by a parliament--not the 1787 American model. 3/3
